Can anybody recommend a reasonably good, self taught course using a CD-Rom for learning German from home ?? I have seen so many of these available.

I am just getting near the end of the Linguaphone "Aufbaukurs". Six CD's and four thin books. Cost something over £200.This course has done me a lot of good, but ...(1) it is quite costly(2) it is a bit dated(3) it is NOT a beginner's course, although Linguaphone do do them too(4) although it is good, I don't think it quite lives up to their claims.I hope this helps. If you need more detail, just ask.

@just a thought:IŽm a fool. How might Schnuck understand what I had written before. So I will repeat my suggestion in English:

A quiet good method to learn the language is to watch movies on DVDs that offer subtitles. In your case maybe in German and German (English) subtitles. (Or else, being a real beginner, in English and German subtitles.) Though I am not really sure if many films that are available in England/UK/US do have a German sound track.
